This has turned out to be surprisingly hard to research. I've often read that the US shipped about 1,000 locos and 10,000 freight cars in the weeks and months following D-day to operate French railroads. I've found what locos were sent, but nothing breaking down how many of each. Also, what type of freight cars did we send over? Standard USRA design with 2-axle trucks, or freight cars more typical of European/British designs? And, is there any website with fairly decent images to reference. Any help is appreciated.
